Start

> Printers (or Printers and Faxes) > Right click Zebra

P640i > Properties > Sharing

This is sharing according to the Microsoft Windows definition.
In a network environment, it allows other computers to send
jobs to the printer that’s connected to your computer.

Start

> Printers (or Printers and Faxes) > Right click Zebra

P640i > Properties >

Security

This is the standard Windows security screen, showing user
access to various printer control options. Both Print and
Manage printers

must

be checked for full functionality of the

P640i.

Start

> Printers (or Printers and Faxes) > Right click Zebra

P640i > Properties >

Ports

Specifies the computer port to which the P640i is connected.
This will have been established at the initial installation of the
printer, and will not normally require attention.

An exception to this is if you wish to use “printer pooling”, the
ability to distribute print jobs to multiple printers. To enable
printer pooling, check the “Enable Printer Pooling” box, then
check multiple ports. Each port should have a single Zebra
printer installed on it, and all printers should be configured
identically (for example: all with YMC front, K back). Now,
when you print to the “main printer” (that is, whichever printer
you right-clicked in Printers and Faxes to get to this screen),
this printer will get print jobs until it has buffered as many jobs
as it can take. Remaining jobs will then “spill over” to other
printers until all printers in the pool are busy.
